Engine Block Manufacture

Boring applications in engine manufacture all require high precision and close tolerances.  Well machined components contribute to the overall performance, efficiency and durability of the engine.

Boring processes in the manufacture of the engine block must create exact cylindrical bores for pistons to ensure maximum capacity of the engine. Precise internal dimensions are crucial for optimal engine performance and fuel efficiency.

Rigibore can offer innovative and time-saving solutions for hole-making for various engine components;  cam and crankshaft bores, cylinder bore and connecting rods using their innovative tooling lines – ActiveEdge and Smartbore.

Ease of adjustment coupled with unrivalled accuracy make ActiveEdge and Smartbore the ideal tooling solutions.

Rigibore tooling has many advantages over other brands.

Cycle time is reduced because of shorter set-up & adjustment times.

No special presetting equipment is required.

Our tools use ISO indexable inserts

Rigibore produces tools that require minimal maintenance.

Using Rigibore boring tools with advanced technology reduces reliance on highly skilled operators.

Our bespoke ActiveNet software provides time & date stamped data capture recording the number of adjustments per cutting edge and adjustment value.

Smartbore makes the adjustment process much easier with the use of the Smartbore adjuster which has a clear, bright display built into the ‘digital torx wrench’.
